  (MASSETO) 2006 Masseto Dear Friends, If you are an investor, this is blue-chip territory. While the entrance fee is high, so was Google at $125. While I sincerely hope all of you actually drink this wine I can't ignore the fact that the 2006 Masseto is far more difficult to obtain than something like Latour and it will almost certainly increase in value over the years. For the magnums, who knows how high they will go? As far as current pricing, it's all over the map. For some unexplainable reason, the state of Connecticut has bizarrely low prices on this wine (granted, it's only a few 6-packs scattered around but the bottles do exist) and the European prices are nearly double that of CT's? Magnums in Europe are already trading at $1500+ retail and the new factor of Hong Kong makes something like this tough to value - it will go as high as the Far East is willing to pay for 99pt wines. Oh yes, there is an actual wine to discuss. I'm a skeptic when it comes to Masseto but I have to confess, this wine is absolutely sublime. It is actually worthy of its praise. I can't remember another vintage of this wine with so much pure fruit and solid rock crammed together to form a stratified concoction of velveteen granite. Liquid spices seem to flow out of cracks in the stone with flowers sprouting out from every nook that the soil-fed nectar will allow. For comparisons sake, this wine reminds me of a young 1983 Margaux or more appropriately, 1989 Petrus. I believe this is the highest rated wine in Antonio Galloni's career: This parcel has perfect provenance (the finest I could muster).
